Global and Complement Gene-Specific DNA Methylation in Grass Carp after Grass Carp Reovirus (GCRV) Infection.

Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) causes huge economic loss to the grass carp cultivation industry but the mechanism remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the global and complement gene-specific DNA methylation in grass carp after GCRV infection aimed to uncover the mechanism underlying GCRV infection. The global DNA methylation level was increased after GCRV infection. Expression levels of enzymes involved in DNA methylation including DNA methyltransferase (DNMT), ten-eleven translocation proteins (TETs), and glycine N -methyltransferase (GNMT) were significantly altered after GCRV infection. In order to investigate the relationship between the gene expression level and DNA methylation level, two representative complement genes, complement component 3 ( C3 ) and kininogen-1 ( KNG1 ), were selected for further analysis. mRNA expression levels of the two genes were significantly increased at 5 and 7 days after GCRV infection, whereas the DNA methylation level at the 5' flanking regions of the two genes were down-regulated at the same time-points. Moreover, a negative correlation was detected between gene expression levels and DNA methylation levels of the two genes. Therefore, the current data revealed a global and complement gene-specific DNA methylation profile after GCRV infection. Our study would provide new insights into understanding the mechanism underlying GCRV infection.
